Fortnite is now playable on the Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch users can now join the battle royal craze

The world’s most popular battle royal game Fortnite is coming to Nintendo Switch. The company announced during its E3 presentation on Tuesday that Fortnite will be coming to Nintendo Switch and will be a free download on the Nintendo eShop.

Like on any other platform, Fortnite seems to have been ported on the Nintendo Switch as well. So, it doesn’t look like the game will carry any specific content related to Nintendo. It will however, support cross platform gaming with all platforms, except for PS4. It was also noted that Fortnite may have a better communication on the Nintendo Switch compared to other games on the platform, as they require you to chat through a smartphone app.
